WEXFORD.

A man named Cowman was recently
arrested at Arthurstown, near New
Ross, on charge of obstructing a rate
collector of New Ross Union. 1t is al
legged that Cowman, with others, was
found blowing horns during the night
with the object of warning the people
of the approach of the rate collector and
the police for the purpose of seizing cat
tie for the rates due, the practice being
to remove all the CATTLE in the district
to holding, the occupier of which had
paid his rates, and thus prevent a seiZ-
ure.
Judge Harrison's address to the Grand
Jury of Wexford in opening the sum
mer assizes, is very instructive COM
ment on the Order of the Privy Council
.'proclaiming" the whole of Ireland,
and especially this county. The Judge
says:-''I am very glad to say that, SO
far, at all events, as the number Of cases
to go before you (the Grand Jury) for
investigation is concerned. of a criminal
nature, they are fewer than in my ex-
perience I have known in any other
county of che large extent of Wexford. /"
These are the words used by the Judge
in the face of Mr.. Balfour's thunders;
and though he had to say that lin one
district of the country at most circum-
stances occurred which rather indicates
a disturbed condition of society,"" his
further remarks made it clear that he
himself was not prepared to regard such
circumstances as indicative of any
thing at all approaching to crime.
Judge Harrison deprecated the collec-
ton of large crowds at evictions; but
this was all that he found wrong in the
whole county of Wexford.

treasure when he was seized by the
office rs, His fright was so great that
he temporarily lost consciousness.
When his faculties were restored he
was told that he was suspected of the
murder of Monsieur Tontay at LIE
Fare several months previous. He
denied the crime, and told what was
considered an incoherent and improb-
able story about his having seen an
other person commit the deed.
After the usual formalities, Jean was
transferred to the town of Vitry, in
Champagne. There he narrated with
absolute particularly the facts as
known to the reader, and distinctly
identified Louis Jarente and Marguer-
lite Tontay. The story of the finding
of the handkerchief was confirmed in a
remarkable way, for two of Monsieur
Tontay's domestics testified that Mar
guerite told them the same evening of
her handkerchief having been snatched
from her by her uncle's dog, and OF
having failed to recover it.
1t was hard to believe that Louis ia
rente and Marguerite would engage in
such dreadful conspiracy against the
life of Monsieur Tontay, and the au-
thorities were loath to act. But Jean
suddenly remembered another fact
most important one.
cater the man had stabbed the
other, y" said Jean, che drew the knife
out of the back. Then he came to
ward that part of the barn where wa,
lying and thrust the knife into the wal
close by the window-port. l heard i

Jean was taken to the barn and HI
pointed out the place into which thu
knife was thrust The easement wa
worn away, and there, sure enough
was q hole in the woodwork. TIL,
half-rotten wood was speedily removed
and the knife was found. 1t was iden
titled beyond doubt as the propert
of Louis Jarente.
| Louis and Marguerite were convicte,
of the crime, and Louis was sentence
to Imprisonment for life. Marguerite
was imprisoned for one year. And S
Monsieur Jarente became the instrU
ment to convict his own son of dread
full crime and to avenge the death c
the man whom he had so cruel
wronged.-C Cincinnati Enquirer.

IN MEDIC TUT1ssIMUS.

Let other men wrangle and strive,
And struggle, and scheme, and contrive,
For me It's discreeter, and meeter, and sweeter
to sit on the fence by myself;
know that the scorn OF the world
At my meaningless mean will be hurled
But have no measure, or leisure, or pleasure,
to struggle for power or pelf.
There are fellows whose greatest delight
Is to hunt for the midst of the fight
And jostle and shoulder the older and holder,
and knock out the timid and slim;
So If 1, Oft peaceloving mind,
To roost on the fence am inclined,
Small odds if they hiss me, or kiss me, or miss
me,
For keeping up out OF the swim.
II ever go to the war,
I'll go in the medical corps
And then while they're fighting, and biting and
shifting, and shedding bad language
and gore;
I'll turn from the strife abhor
Both sides Of the field I'll explore,
Where the wounded are creeping, and sleeping,
and weeping.
Sweet balm in their hurts will pour.
And will be mighty liable to get my head
kicked off by both sides for it, too; so reckon
might as well take a two-handed club and
wade in with the crowd, first as last.-Robet J.

.GIBRALTER ROCK.
The Most Important and Strongest Fort
ress in the World.

The Most Important and Strongest Fort
ress in the World.
Though Gibraltar has not been sub
jected to the attacks of vessels ofwar
of the present day, still it has with
stood siege before which no other
fortress in the world could have held
out Since that famous siege of the
last century every thing has been done
to make the place, humanity speaking,
impregnable.
That this has been accomplished
even cursory glance sufices to. show,
and Jack will tell his messmates on
some foreign station that the bloody
cline ULCERS" at the ''rock" add a
gun for every new year, and now they
have 1887 guns in position.
The crock" itself is not more than
seven miles in circumference, and its
elevation above the sea at the high
est point does not exceed 1,400 feet.
The town is situated on the western
slope, for on all sides the ascent is very
PERCEPTIONS. The isthmus which
connects Gibraltar with the main
land is little more than mile wide,
and it is on this isthmus that
the famous neutral ground is marked
off by the two parallel rows of English
and Spanish sentry boxes Apart from
the position of the crock" it is greatly
strengthened by the presence of re-
markable natural caverns with which
it lis perforated These caverns are all
difficult of access The largest, st.
Michaels, has hall hung with stalac-
tites reaching from roof to floor. Its
entrance is 1000 feet above the level
of the sea, and is connected with other
caverns beneath it of unknown depth.
No doubt the presence of these natural
caverns suggested the idea to the Brit
ish of excavating and tunneling the
''rock." A system of galleries have
been cut facing the harbor and neural
ground at an enormous expense. Much
of this work was carried on by prison
ers. At intervals of twelve yards ports
have been cut for guns, and some of the
ordnance mounted is of very heavy
caliber. The galleries are tunneled in
tiers, and several extend to a distance
of two or three miles, being wide
enough to admit of the oX-carts of the
fort. On the western slope there are
many level spots, but the "hats" o.
Gibraltar arc near the top of the
crock" 1t is here that the infantry is
drilled and exercised. The garrison
consists of nearly FIVE thousand men
and it has always been the custom a

send out a great many Highlander
to Gibraltar, though they do not com
pose the whole force. This garrison i
one of the hardest drilled in the British
service, and the men are usually tn

The boy got out of reach and yelled:
